Let's face it, carpet cleaning is expensive.  It's something most people do once or twice a year, eventhough it should be cleaned much more frequently than that.  Carpet attracts dirt and bacteria that you can not see, causing allergy as well as other health-related issues.

 

Here are a few tips on how to keep your carpet in great shape:

• Regular and proper vacuuming is the easiest thing you can do to keep your carpet looking good. Dirt and dust not only look dirty, they get imbedded into your carpet and destroy the fibers.
 
• Have good cushion or matting. This adds comfort as well as provides a layer of protection to your carpet.
• Use a doormat at each entrance. This is a simple way of preventing dirt from coming into your home in the first place.
 

Ways to Clean Your Carpet:

• Have your carpet shampooed every year by commercial carpet cleaners.
• Alternatively, you can rent a machine, use a professional home cleaning service or, if you are feeling ambitious, do it yourself with a commercial rug cleaning product and a vacuum cleaner.
